We are the Lower Musselshell Conservation District.
The LMCD is a partner of the Montana Association of Conservation Districts and the Big Sky Watershed Corps Program. The conservation district works with and provides fiscal sponsorship for the Musselshell Watershed Coalition – an informal partnership of landowners, water users associations, conservation districts, state and federal agencies in the Musselshell Valley.
We share an office with the Natural Resource Conservation Service in Roundup, MT, and work in partnership with NRCS to promote scientifically sound, local conservation.
...What exactly is a conservation district?
Across Montana, 58 conservation districts—one in every county—are helping local people match their interests and needs with the technical and financial resources necessary to put conservation practices on the land.
Conservation districts work to preserve and protect the land and natural resources in Montana by providing guidance and services to the public. Some of the many things we do include...
- Approving Natural Streambed and Land Preservation Act (310 Law) permits
- Conducting water quality and polution control projects
- Working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service
- Operating recyling programs in subdivisions and urban areas
- Providing education curricula to schools and youth camps
- ...and more!
The Lower Musselshell Conservation District focuses our efforts on Golden Valley, Musselshell, and parts of Rosebud county.
